Shaker loved his mat like that, and the ball, too.

Shaker gets 1/3 of a cup of Oxbow pellets a day,along with some hay (Oxbow also). A couple of times a week Ialso give him a couple of pieces of papyaand banana.

I used to put a cat collar on the rabbit I hadbefore Shaker, but only when I let him out to play. When hewas in his cage, the collar was off. Shaker fussed at it whenI tried to do the same thing with him, so I don't. Microchipping is no big deal. It's just like gettinga vaccincation. I had my...

My Mini Rex, Shaker.

Thanks for all you help! Being involved with dogs, I realize there are colors or markings that make a critter unshowable, but still purebred (like white German Shepherds). :) I'm just one of those people who like to use the correct term if atall possible (example- Mick was a very light yellow...

Well... I've been Mick's Mom ever since Istarted posting on forums/boards. Mick was our yellowLab/English Setter mix. We had to have him pts in July (hewas 15 1/2), but I just can't bring myself to make the change.
